The dignity of the Gotei 13 meant that not every task could be handled by Captains or Seat Officers.
"Perhaps I should draw ten times from the Blue Rare-tier card pool first?" Auguro mused inwardly.
"Ding!" Just then, the system issued a new mission.
"Mission Name: The Birth of the God Kingdom."
"Mission Requirement: The foundation of the God Kingdom is nearly complete. It is time for the true God Kingdom to descend upon this world! Proclaim the establishment of the nation and name the God Kingdom!"
"Mission Reward: Fifty Rookie Shinigami."
Rookie Shinigami?
Auguro looked at the description with curiosity. The so-called Rookie Shinigami were defined as exceptional graduates from the Shino Academy (Soul Reaper Academy).
They possessed Asauchi (Shallow Blades) but had not yet awakened their true names; they required further tempering before becoming truly qualified Shinigami. They were similar to the ten-person guard squad he had previously acquired, but with higher potential.
Auguro nodded in satisfaction.
"This is a good reward!" Founding the nation was inevitable, and an extra reward was always welcome!
However, since he was formally establishing the nation, the area around the sky island needed to be thoroughly cleared. After all, this was essentially his capital! He also needed to quickly deliver soil to the Sky People to ease their minds.
The next day, Auguro gathered his crew.
"Now that Skypiea is under my control, it's about time to establish the God Kingdom!"
Hearing this, Soi Fon and the other Shinigami were invigorated. As system-summoned beings, the mission to establish the God Kingdom was rooted in their souls. How could they not be excited that the Soul King was taking the most crucial step!
Nami and Robin were surprised, but only for a moment. Given Auguro's actions, this move was not unexpected.
Auguro continued, "Before the formal establishment of the God Kingdom, there are still some matters that need to be dealt with!"
"God's Island was once part of Jaya Island in the Blue Sea. The remaining half on the Blue Sea is occupied by a large number of pirates, making it a completely decadent town."
"I don't want a group of lawless scoundrels existing so close to Skypiea!"
Not everyone had the right to live near the territory of the God Kingdom!
"Lord Soul King, please allow your subordinate to deal with these scoundrels!" Kuchiki Byakuya proactively stepped forward to volunteer.
"Excellent! If Byakuya takes action, I believe not a single one will escape!" Auguro had complete faith in the power of a Captain-level Shinigami!
As it was only a pirate eradication mission, Nami and Robin did not join them. Auguro only took Kuchiki Byakuya and his sister, Kuchiki Rukia, flying directly from the sky island to Jaya Island.
In the sky, Auguro looked down at Jaya Island on the sea. It indeed resembled the lower half of a skull. At the harbor, dozens of Marine corpses were hanging from pillars, swaying in the wind.
The Marines had tried to eliminate these pirates, but Jaya Island lacked strategic value, so the Marines who arrived were insufficient and all were repelled. After numerous attempts, the Marines simply gave up. After all, there were no civilians left here.
"As the Soul King said, this truly is a decadent town where lawlessness reigns!" Kuchiki Rukia's expression was grim, and her right hand instinctively gripped the hilt of Sode no Shirayuki.
Kuchiki Byakuya said nothing, but his cold, overflowing gaze showed that his thoughts were identical to his sister's.
"Lord Soul King, to what extent should these madmen be dealt with?" Kuchiki Byakuya calmly inquired.
Auguro's Observation Haki swept the area. "Mock Town (Mokku Town) probably harbors sixty to seventy thousand pirates!"
"Let's do this: anyone who dares to attack will be killed! As for the rest, select one or two thousand of the weaker ones to serve as laborers for the God Kingdom. The others will all be eliminated!"
Upon receiving the instructions, Kuchiki Byakuya and Kuchiki Rukia immediately flew toward the harbor. The two made no effort to hide their presence and were quickly noticed.
"Two Devil Fruit users are coming!" In the One Piece world, anyone who could fly was immediately assumed to be a Devil Fruit user. Due to their apprehension about Devil Fruit users, the pirates did not immediately speak ill of the two siblings.
Instead, Kuchiki Byakuya turned to Kuchiki Rukia and said, "Rukia, there are too many people here. We must first cut off their retreat!"
Kuchiki Rukia understood immediately, drawing Sode no Shirayuki.
"Dance, Sode no Shirayuki!"
"Some no Mai: Tsukishiro (First Dance: Tsukishiro)!"
Buzz!
Instantly, the water surface of the harbor was covered by a thick layer of solid ice. All the pirate ships were completely immobilized!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" At this, the pirates finally realized the visitors were hostile and began shouting for help. A few foolhardy pirates even charged directly at the freshly landed Kuchiki Byakuya!
Arrogant fools! A hint of contempt flashed in Kuchiki Byakuya's eyes.
Just as the pirates' katanas were about to strike, Kuchiki Byakuya's figure suddenly vanished before them.
Pfft!
The next second, the hearts and throats of the few pirates were simultaneously pierced! They instantly fell to the ground, lifeless.
Senka (Flash Blossom)!
A special form of Shunpo combined with rotation, allowing the user to instantly appear behind the enemy and pierce them. In the original story, Kuchiki Byakuya used this move to strike the Saketsu (Chain of Fate) and Hakusui (Sleep Soul) unique to Shinigami and Hollows. Since the people of the One Piece world lack these, the targets were changed to the heart and throat.
"This guy is too strong!"
"Quick! Go call Boss Bellamy!" The pirates instantly held back, pinning their hopes on their leader. Roshio the Executioner, with a bounty of 42 million Berries!
In the Mock Town bar, Roshio slammed his hand down on the table of cards. "Four Aces! Sorry, I win again!"
Smiling, he scooped up the money on the table when a subordinate rushed in frantically.
"B-boss Roshio! This is bad!" the subordinate shouted. "The harbor is frozen solid, and a very strong guy is killing our men!"
"Hmm?" Roshio raised an eyebrow.
"Another fool looking to claim Jaya Island?"
As a lawless land that even the Marines ignored, Jaya Island had been targeted by countless ambitious pirates. Unfortunately, all those arrogant fools had their dreams and spirits crushed by Roshio and tossed into the sea for eternal rest!
"I'm bored anyway. I guess I'll go play with this new rookie!" Roshio twisted his neck, making a loud cracking sound, and stood up.
At the harbor, Kuchiki Byakuya had already begun the massacre. He held his Zanpakutō upright before his chest and whispered.
"Scatter! Senbonzakura (Thousand Cherry Blossoms)!"
The blade instantly dissolved into a thousand pink cherry blossom petals, swirling over the harbor.
"Nani? Cherry blossoms?" The pirates looked bewildered, and a few were even drawn by the beautiful sight, instinctively reaching out to touch them.
Pfft!
However, the moment the petals flew past, every pirate was instantly marked with over a dozen long, deep wounds.
The seemingly beautiful cherry blossoms were actually a thousand tiny blades!
The beautiful appearance was merely an optical illusion caused by the reflection of light!
